An enjoyable day on the Wye, but unfortunately nothing to declare.

Despite low level and sunny weather, my son, who was guesting with me, managed a hen fish of around 13lb from the Heirag on a red and black flying 'c'. As an added bonus we caught 8 good trout to 1lb plus. Great day for both of us.

Fished the right hand bank from the top down to the to the fishing hut. Very enjoyable first time at Gromain. No sign of a salmon but hooked a nice trout. Goosander and cormorant about...

River was quite high and coloured after rain, so wading and locating fish was quite tricky, but managed 3 brown trout each plus one little salmon parr. Mostly small fish, but one of about 12". A nice beat, would probably have been better sport with lower water levels. Fishing hut is locked up so not possible to take shelter/warm up either. Beautiful setting and majestic river.

First time fishing Gromain....fished from the right bank & with a foot of water on the gauge. I felt I would have been better off with the salmon rod; Some deep & mysterious runs along that bank & a couple of salmon moving. However I was trout fishing & doggedly stuck to the dry fly tactics but what was moving was at a difficult distance towards the left bank of a very broad section of the upper Wye.If I fished this section for trout again I would fish from the other bank where one could wade out to the 'trouty' glides. It's great getting to know a new stretch of river, espescially in such beautiful surroundings & I feel we are spoilt with such easy online booking with WUF on so many beats. Thanks.

The day was very good, the river was in very good conditions, we were fishing with all kind of nymphs, the best ones the natual ones pheasant nymphs very heavy in weight to reach the bottom of the river easily. It was a great day.

Beautiful conditions.

Quite a long beat with some substantial sized pools but tricky wading in places. Several decent sized fish and a few salmon showing but only managed two small trout and larger one of about 1lb all on small PT nymphs. Very little in the way of obvious fly life even in the evening but interestingly a substantial hatch took place at the top of the beat (also last pool in Ty-Newyyd) but to get to this part you have to drive to the other side of the river and by the time I got there it was over (getting to this section looks like it might be a scramble from the road but theres a very easy path once you've crossed the stile). PLEASE PLEASE thank whoever looks after this beat for cutting the vegetation back to keep the path alongside the river so tidy and accessible. It was a joy not to have the usual assault course and a decent path really helps when carrying gear around.
